7AFTER THIS, Jesus went from place to place in Galilee, for He would not travel in Judea because the Jews were seeking to kill Him.G2532G3326G5023G2424G4043G1722G1056G1063G2309G3756G4043G1722G2449G3754G2453G2212G615G846 2Now the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was drawing near.G1161G2453G1859G4634G2258G1451 3So His brothers said to Him, Leave here and go into Judea, so that Your disciples [there] may also see the works that You do. [This is no place for You.]G846G80G3767G2036G4314G846G3327G1782G2532G5217G1519G2449G2443G4675G3101G2532G2334G2041G3739G4675G4160 4For no one does anything in secret when he wishes to be conspicuous {and} secure publicity. If You [must] do these things [if You must act like this], show Yourself openly {and} make Yourself known to the world!G1063G3762G4160G5100G1722G2927G2532G846G2212G1511G1722G3954G1487G4160G5023G5319G4572G2889 5For [even] His brothers did not believe in {or} adhere to {or} trust in {or} rely on Him either.G1063G3761G4100G846G80G4100G1519G846 6Whereupon Jesus said to them, My time (opportunity) has not come yet; but any time is suitable for you {and} your opportunity is ready any time [is always here].G3767G2424G3004G846G1699G2540G3918G3768G3918G1161G5212G2540G2076G3842G2092 7The world cannot [be expected to] hate you, but it does hate Me because I denounce it for its wicked works {and} reveal that its doings are evil.G2889G3756G1410G3404G5209G1161G1691G3404G3754G1473G3140G4012G846G3754G2041G846G2076G4190 8Go to the Feast yourselves. I am not [yet] going up to the Festival, because My time is not ripe. [My term is not yet completed; it is not time for Me to go.]G305G5210G305G1519G5026G1859G1473G305G3768G305G3768G1519G5026G1859G3754G1699G2540G4137G3768G4137 9Having said these things to them, He stayed behind in Galilee.G1161G2036G5023G846G3306G1722G1056 10But afterward, when His brothers had gone up to the Feast, He went up also, not publicly [not with a caravan], but by Himself quietly {and} as if He did not wish to be observed.G1161G5613G846G80G305G5119G305G846G2532G305G1519G1859G3756G5320G235G5613G1722G2927 11Therefore the Jews kept looking for Him at the Feast and asking, Where can He be? [Where is that Fellow?]G3767G2453G2212G846G1722G1859G2532G3004G4226G2076G1565 12And there was among the mass of the people much whispered discussion {and} hot disputing about Him. Some were saying, He is good! [He is a good Man!] Others said, No, He misleads {and} deceives the people [gives them false ideas]!G2532G2258G4183G1112G1722G3793G4012G846G3303G3004G3754G2076G18G1161G243G3004G3756G235G4105G3793 13But no one dared speak out boldly about Him for fear of [the leaders of] the Jews.G3305G3762G2980G3954G4012G846G1223G5401G2453 14When the Feast was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple [court] and began to teach.G2235G1161G3322G1859G2424G305G1519G2411G2532G1321 15The Jews were astonished. They said, How is it that this Man has learning [is so versed in the sacred Scriptures and in theology] when He has never studied?G2532G2453G2296G3004G4459G1492G3778G1121G3129G3361G3129 16Jesus answered them by saying, My teaching is not My own, but His Who sent Me.G2424G611G846G2532G2036G1699G1322G2076G3756G1699G235G3992G3165 17If any man desires to do His will (God's pleasure), he will know (have the needed illumination to recognize, and can tell for himself) whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking from Myself {and} of My own accord {and} on My own authority.G1437G5100G2309G4160G846G2307G1097G4012G1322G4220G2076G1537G2316G2228G1473G2980G575G1683 18He who speaks on his own authority seeks to win honor for himself. [He whose teaching originates with himself seeks his own glory.] But He Who seeks the glory {and} is eager for the honor of Him Who sent Him, He is true; and there is no unrighteousness {or} falsehood {or} deception in Him.G2980G575G1438G2212G2398G1391G1161G2212G1391G3992G846G3778G2076G227G2532G3756G93G2076G1722G846 19Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet not one of you keeps the Law. [If that is the truth] why do you seek to kill Me [for not keeping it]?G1325G3756G3475G1325G5213G3551G2532G3762G1537G5216G4160G3551G5101G2212G615G3165 20The crowd answered Him, You are possessed by a demon! [You are raving!] Who seeks to kill You?G3793G611G2532G2036G2192G1140G5101G2212G615G4571 21Jesus answered them, I did one work, and you all are astounded.G2424G611G2532G2036G846G4160G1520G2041G2532G2296G3956G2296 22Now Moses established circumcision among you--though it did not originate with Moses but with the previous patriarchs--and you circumcise a person [even] on the Sabbath day.G3475G1223G5124G1325G5213G4061G3756G3754G2076G1537G3475G235G1537G3962G2532G4059G1722G4521G4059G444 23If, to avoid breaking the Law of Moses, a person undergoes circumcision on the Sabbath day, have you any cause to be angry with (indignant with, bitter against) Me for making a man's whole body well on the Sabbath?G1487G444G1722G4521G2983G4061G3363G3551G3475G3089G3363G3089G5520G1698G3754G4160G444G3650G5199G1722G4521 24Be honest in your judgment {and} do not decide at a glance (superficially and by appearances); but judge fairly {and} righteously.G2919G3361G2596G3799G235G2919G1342G2920 25Then some of the Jerusalem people said, Is not this the Man they seek to kill?G3767G3004G5100G1537G2415G2076G3756G3778G3739G2212G615 26And here He is speaking openly, and they say nothing to Him! Can it be possible that the rulers have discovered {and} know that this is truly the Christ?G2532G2396G2980G3954G2532G3004G3762G846G1097G758G1097G3379G230G3754G3778G2076G230G5547 27No, we know where this Man comes from; when the Christ arrives, no one is to know from what place He comes.G235G1492G5126G4159G2076G1161G3752G5547G2064G3762G1097G4159G2076 28Whereupon Jesus called out as He taught in the temple [porches], Do you know Me, and do you know where I am from? I have not come on My own authority {and} of My own accord {and} as self-appointed, but the One Who sent Me is true (real, genuine, steadfast); and Him you do not know!G3767G2896G2424G1722G2411G1321G2532G3004G2504G1492G2532G1492G4159G1510G2532G2064G3756G2064G575G1683G235G3992G3165G2076G228G3739G5210G1492G3756 29I know Him [Myself] because I come from His [very] presence, and it was He [personally] Who sent Me.G1161G1473G1492G846G3754G1510G3844G846G2548G649G3165 30Therefore they were eager to arrest Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, for His hour (time) had not yet come.G3767G2212G4084G846G2532G3762G1911G5495G1909G846G3754G846G5610G2064G3768G2064 31And besides, many of the multitude believed in Him [adhered to Him, trusted in Him, relied on Him]. And they kept saying, When the Christ comes, will He do [can He be expected to do] more miracles {and} produce more proofs {and} signs than what this Man has done?G1161G4183G1537G3793G4100G1519G846G2532G3004G3754G3752G5547G2064G3385G4160G4119G4592G5130G3739G3778G4160 32The Pharisees learned how the people were saying these things about Him under their breath; and the chief priests and Pharisees sent attendants (guards) to arrest Him.G5330G191G3793G1111G5023G4012G846G2532G5330G2532G749G649G5257G2443G4084G846 33Therefore Jesus said, For a little while I am [still] with you, and then I go back to Him Who sent Me.G3767G2036G2424G846G2089G3398G5550G1510G3326G5216G2532G5217G4314G3992G3165 34You will look for Me, but you will not [be able to] find Me; where I am, you cannot come.G2212G3165G2532G2147G3756G2147G2532G3699G1473G1510G5210G3756G1410G2064 35Then the Jews said among themselves, Where does this Man intend to go that we shall not find Him? Will He go to the Jews who are scattered in the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?G3767G2036G2453G4314G1438G4226G3195G3778G4198G3754G2249G2147G3756G2147G846G3361G3195G4198G1519G1290G1672G2532G1321G1672 36What does this statement of His mean, You will look for Me and not be able to find Me, and, Where I am, you cannot come?G5101G3056G2076G3778G3739G2036G2212G3165G2532G2147G3756G2147G2532G3699G1473G1510G5210G3756G1410G2064 37Now on the final and most important day of the Feast, Jesus stood, and He cried in a loud voice, If any man is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink!G1161G1722G2078G2250G3173G1859G2424G2476G2532G2896G3004G1437G5100G1372G2064G4314G3165G2532G4095 38He who believes in Me [who cleaves to {and} trusts in {and} relies on Me] as the Scripture has said, From his innermost being shall flow [continuously] springs {and} rivers of living water.G4100G1519G1691G2531G1124G2036G1537G846G2836G4482G4215G2198G5204 39But He was speaking here of the Spirit, Whom those who believed (trusted, had faith) in Him were afterward to receive. For the [Holy] Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified (raised to honor).G1161G5124G2036G4012G4151G3739G4100G1519G846G3195G2983G1063G40G4151G2258G3768G3754G2424G1392G3764G1392 40Listening to those words, some of the multitude said, This is certainly {and} beyond doubt the Prophet!G4183G1537G3793G3767G191G3056G3004G230G3778G2076G4396 41Others said, This is the Christ (the Messiah, Anointed One)! But some said, What? Does the Christ come out of Galilee?G243G3004G3778G2076G5547G1161G243G3004G1063G3361G5547G2064G1537G1056 42Does not the Scripture tell us that the Christ will come from the offspring of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?G3780G1124G2036G3754G5547G2064G1537G4690G1138G2532G575G2968G965G3699G1138G2258 43So there arose a division {and} dissension among the people concerning Him.G3767G1096G4978G1722G3793G1223G846 44Some of them wanted to arrest Him, but no one [ventured and] laid hands on Him.G1161G5100G1537G846G2309G4084G846G235G3762G1911G5495G1909G846 45Meanwhile the attendants (guards) had gone back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, Why have you not brought Him here with you?G3767G2064G5257G4314G749G2532G5330G2532G1565G2036G846G1302G71G3756G71G846 46The attendants replied, Never has a man talked as this Man talks! [No mere man has ever spoken as He speaks!]G5257G611G3763G444G3779G2980G5613G3778G444 47The Pharisees said to them, Are you also deluded {and} led astray? [Are you also swept off your feet?]G3767G611G846G5330G4105G5210G2532G4105G3361 48Has any of the authorities or of the Pharisees believed in Him?G3387G1537G758G2228G1537G5330G4100G1519G846 49As for this multitude (rabble) that does not know the Law, they are contemptible {and} doomed {and} accursed!G235G3778G3793G3588G1097G3361G3551G1526G1944 50Then Nicodemus, who came to Jesus before at night and was one of them, asked,G3530G3004G4314G846G2064G846G4314G3571G5607G1520G1537G846 51Does our Law convict a man without giving him a hearing and finding out what he has done?G2919G2257G3551G2919G3361G444G4386G3362G191G3844G846G2532G1097G5101G4160 52They answered him, Are you too from Galilee? Search [the Scriptures yourself], and you will see that no prophet comes (will rise to prominence) from Galilee.G611G2532G2036G846G3361G1488G4771G2532G1537G1056G2045G2532G1492G3754G1537G1056G1453G3756G4396 53And they went [back], each to his own house.G2532G1538G4198G1519G846G3624
